Walk like a man
And talk like a man
Walk like a man, baby
You can call me your man

A little girl asked me what am I gonna do
When I get old and blue and worn clear through
And I said by that time I'm gonna be in my prime
I'm gonna strut like a cock until I'm 99

I'm gonna walk like a man
And talk like a man
Walk like a man, baby
You can call me your man

Sometimes I feel it's getting late
In life all that settling down can wait
Till my routine days all seem the same
Right now I've got to get on out
I've gotta make my day

I'm gonna walk like a man
And talk like a man
Walk like a man, baby
You can call me your man

Walk like a man
And talk like a man
Walk like a man baby
You can call me your man
